Download Festival have confirmed Avenged Sevenfold as their second headliner for 2018, having announced Ozzy Osbourne earlier this week. A7X will return for the second time to headline the festival, which takes place at Donington Park between the 8-10th June.

“A real career highlight of mine was giving Avenged Sevenfold their first ever UK festival headline slot, and I’m thrilled to welcome them back,” says festival promoter Andy Copping.“You don’t often see bands like Avenged Sevenfold top the charts, but much like seeing them live, they’re not to be underestimated.”

Tickets are on sale now, with a loyalty discount scheme available for a limited time.
